Team Picnic PostNL coach Matt Winston: “This year’s Tour de Suisse is shorter with five stages, but it remains a demanding race. We start with three interesting hilly stages, followed by a flat time trial and a decisive final mountain stage, so there are multiple opportunities for us throughout the week. With riders like Bjorn, Mattia and Chris, we have multiple cards to play across the different terrains, and that allows us to race proactively. Across the week, we want to be present in the key moves and not miss opportunities if the race opens up. The focus will be on executing well as a group, to be active throughout the week, race with intent, and take every opportunity to put ourselves in the mix for strong results.”
